Synopsis
Three teams of four-year-olds compete in games with a "learning through play" element.
There wasn't that much of a competitive edge to it because the winning team's prize consisted of being the first to open a sack with a huge cuddly toy - which all the contestants got.
A quite interesting show because it was probably the first time (and the last) that ITV tried to introduce a game show for a pre-school audience. By the looks of what happened, the idea got a thumbs down (I'll get my coat...)
Inventor
Stephen Leahy and Valerie Pye
